Here is a cute picture book nonfiction to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the invention of Band-aids. Earle Dickerson's wife, Josephine, was a little accident prone. She kept cutting herself while fixing dinner. She would wrap her injury in gauze, but that was awkward was she tried to continue her work. Earle came up with a solution where he stuck a small piece of gauze on an adhesive strip and wrapped it around the wound. Ta da! The Band-aid was born. Earle worked for the Johnson & Johnson company who took his invention and made it into the multi-million dollar industry we all know and love. The story is told in simple but charming language with colorful child-friendly illustrations. (2018. 40p)
